The concept of forgetting in Hernando Téllez

Abstract

In his auto-figurative essays, more than proposing an image of himself to the reader, Hernando Téllez reveals his tireless struggle against being completely
caught by the force of forgetting, which is inherent to the passing of time. His work, through a careful prose, accomplishes to develop strong proposals on essential topics such as love, loneliness, childhood, youth and oldness. It also manages to approach to the work of Marcel Proust, who asked himself how related are those concepts and the way in which we perceive them to memory and forgetting.
